The victory has put the 10-time finalists in 3rd place on the league table.

They have one match left to play against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

If Chennai win that match, they will reach the playoffs.

A victory would put them at 16 points.

If they lose their final game, Chennai would still have a small chance of making the playoffs.

They have the 2nd best net run rate in the league after the Kolkata Knight Riders at +0.528.

Chennai would just have to ensure that their defeat to Bengaluru is a narrow one.

CSK can only be toppled by the Lucknow Super Giants if they don’t win against Bengaluru.

The KL Rahul-led side would need consecutive, big margin victories to knock Chennai out.
